I'll list the ingredients I have on hand I think could be used in some form or another. I have whole milk, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, gorgonzola, yellow american sliced cheese and of course, the green can

I'm looking for some kind of cheese sauce I can make fairly easily (quickly) and pour over some brocolli that I have cut up and waiting to steam. I'm looking for something rich, thick and rib sticking. Or as rib sticking as you can get considering it's brocolli

Sorry, Pacanis, it's not that we don't want to help.....I was folding laundry, baking cookies, cleaning the kitchen and moving furniture. I am sorry that I couldn't juggle culinary consulting at the same time.

Um uh, the blue can? Is this another quirky American cheese thing....?

Make a roux of equal parts butter and flour and cook just until melted and combined. Add scalded milk (I infuse mine with peppercorns, bay leaves, a pinch of nutmeg, thyme and some salt and then strain this out as I add my milk to the roux), stirring constantly. Cook until thick and bubbly. You have a basic bechmel and can add whichever of your cheeses you want.

Thanks.
So it's basically milk and cheese, maybe with a roux to thicken and seasonings. I can handle that. Something in the back of my mind had me thinking I needed velveeta or some kind of canned cheese sauce.

Jeeks is right, for the quickest method...I use an aged cheddar and milk with a bit of pepper..couldn't be simpler....no green can or velvetta needed

Yeah, I should really work more on making sauces, but then I'll need to look for a short sauce spoon like Jeeks and IC
There was an Emeril on yesterday on sauces, but I didn't pay much attention to it other than seeing him grill up some lobster tails. Come to think of it, it's probably what put the thought in my head of making a cheese sauce for my broc....
